364 Strategy

"Dani, this dress is just right for you!"

Margaery smiled and helped Daenerys put on an elegant black palace dress, exquisite tailoring techniques outlined her perfect body curves vividly, and her long silver-blonde hair was pulled into a lady's bun, revealing a swan-like elegant white neck.

The delicate and impeccable facial features and amethyst-like eyes combine purity, charm and nobility to form a unique charm.

Daenerys looked at herself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and couldn't help but show a look of amazement.

"Thank you, Margaery. I've never worn anything like this. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Margaery tied a tasseled headband around her head, "As the former princess of the Seven Kingdoms, and now the queen of the storm, you should have a wardrobe worthy of your status. This is what I asked Monsieur Modes to do especially for you, he is the master tailor I have brought from the High Court, and his skills are very good, and you can come to him if you need anything in the future. ”

"Okay."

Margaery fiddled with Daenerys's tiara, looked at it again, and smiled with satisfaction:

"Alright. Also, you're going to need a maid ......."

"I have three maids." Daenerys said, "It's just that they're still on the summer sea." It is estimated that it will be three or four months before we reach the Storm Lands. ”

This time back in Westeros, Daenerys and Samwell rode the dragon first, and the army of the Unsullied, as well as the maids, retinues, etc., were still floating on the sea.

"Then I'll find two maids to serve you first." Margaret said, "Plus, you'll need a knightly guard. ”

"I have two loyal knights......"

"But they're still at sea, aren't they?"

"Hmm." Daenerys suddenly felt an unspeakable loneliness.

"I'll help you find a Stormlands Knight later."

"Okay." Daenerys didn't refuse, and Margaery's kind attitude reassured her, "Thank you for taking such good care of me, Margaery. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Margaery hugged Daenerys and kissed her on the cheek, "You should be seventeen this year, right?" When I saw you, I thought of Arlan, who was my cousin and should have been as old as you this year. ”

Daenerys was stunned for a moment: "Originally?" ”

"yes." Margaery sighed sadly, "Last year there was a deer rebellion in Riverlands, and she was killed by the rebels......"

"I'm sorry." Daenerys said hurriedly.

"It's fine." Margaery smiled softly, "You must know what it's like to lose a loved one better than I do. And you're stronger than me, and if I were you, I'm afraid I would have collapsed a long time ago. ”

Daenerys was sad, but felt that the softness in her heart was touched, and couldn't help but blurt out:

"From now on, we will be relatives."

"Yes." Margaery smiled sweetly, hugged Daenerys again, and then took her hand and walked out, and said, "Let me familiarize you with Storm's End, this ancient castle is said to be thousands of years old, and there is a taste of simplicity and majesty everywhere, but it is too majestic and depressing, so I planted a lot of roses before, take you to see it." ”

"Okay."

The two walked out of the first fort and came to the back garden, where the staggered layout of tall trees and low shrubs made the changes of light and shadow perfectly blend with the natural environment.

"It's late autumn now, and the temperature is not suitable for roses to bloom, so I specially asked them to build a flower house." Margaery led Daenerys onwards to a glass-domed flower house.

Through the transparent curtain wall, Daenerys can already see the golden roses blooming in the room, like a sea of molten gold, dazzling.

"It's beautiful." She couldn't help but sigh.

Samwell leaned on the open-air balcony on the second floor of the castle, watching his two wives walk hand in hand into the flower room, and secretly said that the two got along quite well.

Don't look at Daenerys on the outside, but in fact, she is fragile on the inside, longing for family affection, and if others treat her well, she can easily fall.

With Margaery's affinity, Daenerys couldn't resist it at all.

Samwell felt like he could save a lot of money.

He came back to his senses and continued to listen to the castle's steward, Gavin Mande, report on the situation in the realm.

Samwell listened patiently, and then commanded:

"The number of laborers to build the artificial river is temporarily stuck at 100,000 and should not be increased."

"However, Your Majesty, if this is the case, it will be difficult to achieve our desired goal, and with the two million gold dragon loan from the Iron Treasury, we are not short of money."

"But we have more pressing things to do." Samwell sighed, "Winter is coming sooner than I expected, so something has to be picked up. The money from the Iron Vault is used to buy food first, but don't buy it in Westeros, buy it in the free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea, the more the better. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"In addition, we must prepare eight thousand pairs of chain mail, which can be gathered as soon as possible within three months, and if the time is too tight to buy so much, replace them with leather armor first."

"Yes."

"And Long Jing." Samwell said again, "I asked you to buy Dragon Crystal in large quantities before, how much did you buy?" ”

"I've stockpiled about three thousand pounds of dragon crystals so far."

Samwell frowned, looking unfazed by this:

"That's it?"

Gavin sighed and explained:

"Your Majesty, although Dragon Crystal is not an expensive mineral, the problem is that only Dragon Stone Island produces Dragon Crystal in large quantities, and it is the territory of Stannis Baratheon, who noticed that we have purchased Dragon Crystal in large quantities, so he ordered a ban on the sale."

Samwell narrowed his eyes and said:

"Okay, I got it. I'll take care of that. What is the situation in the north now? ”

"The Starks are still resisting, but due to the fall of Winterfell, their situation is getting worse day by day, although the lords of the North initially supported Eddard Stark, but as time went on, they gradually reduced their support, withdrew their troops, and even many families even fell to the lions."

"Which of the Northlands have fallen to the lion?"

"Now I've heard about the betrayal of the Severns, the Lesvilles, the Dustins, and especially the Dustins, and even the capture of Robb Stark, the eldest son of Duke Eddarde."

Samwell sighed secretly, but he didn't expect that although the young wolf lord did not die in the betrayal of the Frey family as in the original book, he still fell into the hands of Madame de Balballina.

However, he was not surprised by Madame Balletta's betrayal.

This barren widow has always had a deep grudge against the Stark family, and she is still related to Earl Luce Burton, so it is normal for her to be provoked to betray.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Stark family won't last long, if we want to deal with the Lannisters, it's best to send troops before the situation in the north completely collapses."

Samwell glanced at Gavin in surprise, you know, although Gavin can be said to be the first group of veterans to follow Samwell, and has always won Samwell's trust, Gavin has always been only responsible for logistics affairs, and is Samwell's big supervisor, but he has never expressed his opinion on military issues.

When Gavin saw Samwell staring at him, he immediately put it together:

"Your Majesty, actually...... Quite a few knights have come to me...... They all agreed that an army should be sent to attack King's Landing as soon as possible. ”

"They're in a hurry." Samwell smiled, a little surprised by the urgency of his men.

Perhaps this time he returned with Daenerys and the three dragons, and the impact was even greater than he expected.

That's not a bad thing.

However, Samwell is also very sober, if he wants to attack King's Landing, he must first solve a key problem -

How to cross the moat of the Heishui River.

"How's the progress of the bachelor's research?"

"It should be going well, and when he heard about your return in the morning, he sent someone to invite you to visit the docks."

"Okay, then I'll take a look." Samwell immediately left.

When I went downstairs, I was confronted by Daenerys and Margaery, who had just come out of the flower room.

Both of them held a bouquet of roses in their hands, and one in their hair, and they both smiled like a flower when they saw Samwell:

"Sam, where are you going?"

"Go to the beach and see the new gadgets of the bachelor." Samwell stepped forward and kissed the two of them separately, and smiled, "Do you want to go together?" ”

Margaery immediately nodded: "Okay, there are always a lot of surprises for the new gadgets of the bachelor of Coben." ”

Daenerys didn't know Bachelor Coburn either, and she didn't know what the other party's so-called new gadget was, but she nodded happily:

"Okay, I'll go too."
